Chords:

Left handed

This song is not too difficult to learn to play (the lyrics are a bit tricky, but it's a DARN good song!) I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, you can email me at lsohfan@gmail.com and I plan on posting a video lesson soon.

CCFA quark is a fundamental constituent of matter

GFCObserved in 1968 through deep elastic scatter.

CCFWe found that protons aren't as simple as we thought.

GFCWe thought they were solid particles but they are not.

CCFProtons in fact are made up of three separate pieces.

GFCIt just gets more confusing as our knowledge increases.

CCFBut that is what a quark is; It's a piece of a proton,

GFCAnd they also make up other things including the neutron.

CCFOh, up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom

GFCIf you don't know what a quark is, it don't matter you still got 'em.

CCFAnd with leptons and bosons, unless something's amiss,

GFCThey make up everything that we can see and that we know exists.

CCFThings made up of quarks including protons and neutrons

GFCAre composite particles that physicists call hadrons.

CCFMany types of hadrons are theoretically described,

GFCBut most exist for only very brief amounts of time.

CCFQuarks have electric charge, color charge, mass and spin,

GFCAnd having color charge means they exist solely inside of

CCFOther kinds of particles and cannot exist alone.

GFCWhich is why quarks have never been studied on their own.

CCFUp, down, strange, charm, top, bottom

GFCIf you don't know what a quark is, it don't matter you still got 'em.

CCFAnd with leptons and bosons, unless something's amiss,

GFCThey make up everything that we can see and that we know exists.

CCFQuarks can join together in two different ways,

GFCBaryons and Mesons, but most instantly decay.

CCFIf a particle has three quarks, then it's a baryon,

GFCIf there's one quark and and anti-quark, then it is a meson.

CCFThese tiny bits of matter are a part of almost everything

GFCAnd there is no unified theory to make it less confusing.

CCFBut the fact that we've identified that they exist at all

GFCIs so god damn remarkable that I just sit in awe.

CCFOh, up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom

GFCIf you don't know what a quark is, it don't matter you still got 'em.
